Top Rated Gear: Tamron SP AF 24-135mm f/3.5-5.6 AD Aspherical (IF) Macro Auto Focus Lens with Hood & Case for Canon EOS - with 6 Year USA Warranty Image Stabilization Type: Yes (IS), Lens Format: Full Frame, Lens Series: Tamron AF

I was looking for an all-in-one lens that would give the best of both worlds in a neat little package, wide-angle and zoom. This lens was pretty much what I was looking for. Although it would better if the wide-angle was a bit wider. But the 24mm will suffice.

An Excellant General Purpose Tool

I bought this lens as a cheaper alternative to a more expensive Canon lense for my Rebel. I think that the lens is very versatile and  practical for my hobby type of photography. I would recommned it to any amateur who wants to experiment with their photography skills. However, I don't think that I'd recommend it to a professional. Here's why:
1. It shows some abberation and vignetting at the 24mm setting. 
2.In low light conditions, the lense can be slow to focus because it spends a lot of time searching.

Good General Purpose Affordable Lense

I have nothing but good things to say about this lens.  I've used it in all climates - extreme cold to hot - and it works great.  The focal length is perfect for portraits through landscapes.  Due to its flexibility, I can now carry fewer lenses in the back country which makes for both a lighter day and more photo opportunities.
